Overview

Mission

Providing meals and resources to our less fortunate community residents and homeless persons and equipping them with the necessary tools and knowledge to better help them be more productive and self sufficient in their work, home and community. Classes and workshops are implemented to help them find and keep a job, completing a resume accurately, home ownership, finance and budgeting and counseling referrals if needed.

What it reported doing in 2020

Unfortunately, we were not able to help as many people as previous year. However, we did manage to provide necessities and protected gear to around 800 individuals. Meals to roughly 300.

Operating model

Revenue model: Other-operating. 100% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model: Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Some filed totals do not add up and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
